Joe Biden is speaking to the American people. This is his last chance to polish his legacy in what’s looking like damage control for a failed presidency. He started off at the top saying he would always promise to tell us the truth, and he didn’t.
He didn’t tell us why he changed his mind. He didn’t tell us really why he was stepping down. He didn’t explain what happened this weekend.
And he didn’t really instill confidence in why he can still execute the duties of the presidency. He did at one point allude to the fact that he was doing this because he needed to save democracy. Trump’s a dictator, he can’t beat Trump, someone else can, so resigning is a way to save democracy, we get that.
But he kind of beat around the bush. And then he said, oh, okay, I’m passing the torch to a new generation. That’s gonna unite the country.
That’s not what the issue was. The issue was never Joe Biden’s age. The issue was Joe Biden’s competence.
And it very well looks like this country may vote for someone almost the same age as Joe Biden. So it has nothing to do with a new generation. This defend democracy pitch, that was more of a pitch to the Democratic Party.
That was not a pitch to the entire country. Most people wanna defend their paychecks, their border, their homes, and their families. Didn’t land.
Obey
